Default 95 Blazer auto to Manual

is it possible to convert my 95 Blazer 4wd, 4door to manual? my shifter leveler is on the steering colum. i know that they make 2 door verison manual. Do i have to take everything out of the 2door version? what is all involved? the cost?

its cheaper and wayyyyy easier to sell yours and put the money towards a newer one with a manual.
as for the swap, you would basically need the seats forward of one with a manual...that alone would be over 2 grand, now you would be able to part some things out and recoup some money...but hardly worth it.

You will need a lot of parts, its not just a transmission.
Think of the clutch pedal and all parts and brackets all the way to the tranny.
I'm not saying its not possible, I'm just saying its a lot of parts and your best bet to make sure you get them all, and the cheapest way to get them all is to buy a jimmy/blazer with a manual that has been rearended and do a swap of all the parts. I'm not 100% sure but you may even need a different ecu.
If you are going to do this swap keep in mind its a total overhaul and not just a 1 day job, you will be pulling the engine out.
On every forum for any car I've been on whenever this question arises everyone recomends selling what you have and buying what you want, its much cheaper. I know they don't make a 4dr manual, so yer kinda sol on that part.

With all the questions you have posted here regarding replacing and/or changing components of your Blazer, I can't help but believe that you bought the wrong truck for your purposes. At this point I join the recommendations to sell it and buy what you really want.
